Team RAF dominated the PA State IDPA Championship this past weekend. Dave Olhasso was the overall
winner of the match taking awards for SSP Division Champion and High Industry. Misfortune would have
Team RAF shooter James McGinty begin the match with a 20 second penalty as malfunctioning equipment led to
a failure at equipment check. James overcame to win ESP Division Champion and High Junior. Bucky Pollard
took fourth overall in the CDP division with awards for First Place Expert. Congratulations to all.
